Otherwise, you can find yourself having purchased an MP3 player that does many things you don’t need and none of things that you do.

The Beatles Second Record: With The Beatles (1963)

December 25th, 2009

With The Beatles (1963) is not among my favorite Beatles albums, in fact I think it’s arguably their worst studio album. But that is not to say I don’t thoroughly enjoy listening to this early classic in it’s new glorious remastered form nor is it to say that it does not have any good songs on it because that is definitely not the case.

A Music Fan Site With A Difference

December 1st, 2009

For a true fan in the indie rock music industry, there is no greater accomplishment than finding a group that you know will succeed in the future. Recognizing what a band requires in order to be successful in this increasingly competitive market is a feeling created from having enough knowledge of the music industry. When an unknown band that you support finds success in a large scale atmosphere you build a sense of unity with the band for having known it at such an early stage. This building of fandom represents the ultimate form of band support and can often lead to recognition from the band itself who is often aware of the fans that support them at such an early phase.

November 1st, 2009

As a big fan of both The Beatles and of reading, I have read a huge amount of books on The Beatles. In fact, I really have no idea how many I’ve read at this point.

Five Excellent Solo Albums

October 24th, 2009

People love to off handily dismiss the solo work of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison and say that they were no good after The Beatles. And while it is true that they never quite reached the same level as The Beatles (but who has?) they really did release a number of great albums after “the greatest band of all time.”

Acoustic Guitar Tabs – Know Them And Play Better

October 21st, 2009

Guitar music has its own special musical notation. Rather than a guitarist using the standard musical notations which other musicians use i.e., staffs, notes, note values, ledger lines, key signatures and time signatures. Guitar players will use a much simpler operational type of musical notation, known as the tab. The advantage to using acoustic guitar tabs is that you can learn to play guitar without needing to learn to read music in the normal sense. Tabs (tablatures) are not only used by guitarists but by other people who play any kind of stringed instrument.
